I can tell you it happens: we've checked the timestamps at the moment and concluded that the reason was that dlrs arrived before the submit_sm_resp. Since we started using the patch we've never had that problem again. What my patch do is, if the dlr is not found, to sleep an amount of time (configurable) and retry the db query up to N times (configurable as well) to see if it's available. Regards, Alejandro 2009/10/24 Nikos Balkanas <[email protected]> Wow! Talking about deliveryΒ faster thanΒ the speed of light! It should ran backwards in time :-) Β Is the SMS actually delivered to the destination mobileΒ while submit_sm_resp is still pending? Β Timestamps would really help clear if this is the case. Β In your patch there is a thread delay while implementing this sleep. I've noticed that you wake up when you receive something from the thread, but it could be another PDU for another SMS, not necessarily the submit_sm_resp you are waiting. Are these PDUs routed correctly? Given that there is a single thread for each smsc connection, is there a performance penalty to the thread? Β Your patch seems essential, why it was not incorporated in the CVS?

It happened to us with some aggregators: on some cases, they've sent the DLR _before_ the submit_sm_resp arrived, so when the DLR hits kannel the record is not yet created on the DB and it's ignored. When the submit_sm_resp finally arrives and the DLR record is created (only a few milliseconds later usually) it remains there forever. I've made a simple patch time ago to deal with this problem (posted it to the list as well). Check here: http://www.blogalex.com/archives/132 I've been using it since then with no issues at all. Regards, Alejandro 2009/10/24 Nikos Balkanas <[email protected]> Hi, This is rather a question for Mysql administration. If inserts (same server or LAN) delay more than WAN tcp/ip + delivery from your SMSc, then you have some serious MySQL issues. However, you are only guessing about the cause. It could be something entirely different, i.e. Mysql downtime when inserting, dropped connections, etc. To verify your hypothesis, do a query after a few minutes and if the insert is slow, mismatched DLRs should still be in the database (status 0). If you also add a column with a timestamp, you could compare timestamp with DLR delivery from logs. I have just submitted a patch that increases database warning logging, which might be helpful. To benchmark your mysql installation, run the same 20K SMS over fakesmsc. It is expeted to loose a few there, since DLRs are instantaneous, but it should give you an idea of your handling capacity.

Sometimes, DLR are stuck in MySQL, even if these DLR are really sent by my operator (Mblox). In fact, it seems that the DLR are incoming before kannel has enough time to insert the DLR in MySQL (see log below). I tried with dlr-storage = internal, but the situation is equal. Number of SMS concerned : about 0.3 to 0.6% in the few tests I made. Does anyone had to deal with such a problem ?
